I have a chance to do some aerial photography from a helicopter, and I was wondering if there were any tricks or not-so-obvious things that I need to know. I've heard that it's best to overexpose by a stop or two to prevent the camera's meter from being tricked by the brightness, but I'm not sur

Chris, in doing aerial mapping work for 4 years, I learned a couple of things. Don't shoot anything slower than 1/500 and 1/1000 is even better. There is going to be a lot of vibration from the chopper and I found the best thing to do was let my body absorb the vibration. Try not to lean on

Just a bit of trivia to those interested in this sort of thing. It seems as though Steve Winter, a photographer for Natl. Geographic, has a Pentax F*300mm f4.5 mounted to an unknown(I can't tell what it is anyway) body in the July 2002 Natl. Geographic. It is a pic in the "Behind the Scenes" se

Some good advice already, but hear's my 0.02c from personal experience. Avoid picture taking while the 'copter is in a hover because the vibrations are more extreme. Worst time of day is between 10am and 2pm standard time because there is no cross lighting to accentuate details. The best times
